Auchentoshan 24 Year Old 1991 Old & Rare
Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Auchentoshan 24 Year Old 1991 vintage Lowland single malt Scotch whisky. Single cask refill hogshead bottled April 2016 by Hunter Laing & Co. for the Old & Rare Platinum Collection. 216 numbered bottles. This golden coloured whisky starts fresh on the nose with vanilla, citrus and some herbal notes. Harmonious on the palate with more citrus fruits, vanilla, grain and herbs. Its finish is smooth and gentle with the citrus and herbal notes from the palate. Auchentoshan Distillery was built by John Bulloch around 1800 and originally named Duntocher Distillery and officially licensed in 1823 but renamed Auchentoshan Distillery during the 1830s. Auchentoshan is situated just north of Dalmuir, close by the northern bank of the River Clyde and the Forth and Clyde Canal. Then it was in the countryside but now on the north western fringe of Glasgow, just a swift twenty minutes from Glasgow city centre and not too far from Loch Lomond. Auchentoshan is now one of Scotland’s few operational Lowland malt whisky distilleries and one of the very few distilleries in the whole of Scotland to produce malt whisky using a full triple distillation process. Auchentoshan Distillery tours available at the distillery visitor centre where Auchentoshan Three Wood can be sampled.
